The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 64

Episode 64 Gimcheon Liberation-gu (2)

* * *

Kang-hu, who had immediately designated a return point near Pohang Station, rented a car and headed to Gimcheon Liberation-gu.

This is because you cannot go to Haebang-gu by KTX or safety bus.

Most people took a detour, or even if they did, they passed without stopping, so they could never get off.

The car that Kanghu rented from the rental company was one of the cheapest cars among cheap cars.

This is because I had to be prepared to throw it away or destroy it.

No matter what we imagined, safety could not be guaranteed as it was in the liberated area where something worse than that was happening.

‘If you’re lucky, you can purchase items really cheaply.’

It was one of the reasons why Kang Hu was interested in going to the liberation zone.

In general, the logic of prices established in the market does not apply in the liberated areas.

When there is competition to sell quickly, the price can plummet to ridiculous levels.

There were also many cases where items stolen from someone were sold at a low price in order to quickly cash them out.

Considering the source, these items are questionable, but there was no need to think about that.

In the first place, some of the items Kanghu was wearing were brought from someone.

‘If you just find Min Soo-hyun, you can create a contact that will make you very close to Lee Hyun-seok.’

The request to rescue Min Soo-hyun had great meaning.

Although Lee Hyun-seok is widely known to the outside world as a single-minded person with an inflexible image.

Aside from everything else, he was a person who made sure to have a relationship of benevolence and affection.

We somehow show trust and gratitude to those who need to express our gratitude.

Even if it takes time and effort to get revenge on the person you need to take revenge on, you will always see the end of your revenge.

That one thing has never changed since he started making a name for himself in the world.

“Look at the atmosphere. “It’s really the worst.”

Kang Hu frowned when he saw the Liberation Zone of Gimcheon coming into view on the horizon.

In the original work, the atmosphere of the end of the damn century was deeply embedded in the liberated area, so the feeling was unusual.

No matter which liberation zone you looked at, both domestically and overseas, the atmosphere was similar.

The sight of something red and black burning, as if looking at the gates of hell.

The closer you get, the more dizzying and worrying the sight becomes.

Just as we were about to enter the narrow road leading to Liberation Zone.

Buuuuung! Ugh!

Suddenly, two trucks hidden somewhere appeared and blocked the front and rear of the car driven by Kang-hoo.

The street corner of the old street, which is now a no-man’s land where no one lives, has been blocked.

Of course, there was no element to ask for help in this area near the liberated area.

Even if you call 112, the area near Haebang-gu is an area where dispatch is not possible.

It’s fortunate if you can at least call 112, but sometimes the call itself is forcibly diverted and the call reaches the wrong place.

For example, when you call to ask for help, criminals from within the liberated area who heard the news come rushing in. This is because the base station is in the hands of criminals.

“….”

Kang-hoo, who was holding the steering wheel, saw the group of hunters starting to get out of the truck and immediately hid themselves.

As soon as I opened the car door, I put on the curtain of skill, and Kang-hu’s figure disappeared completely from inside the curtain.

It was a very natural flow.

The hunters who were targeting Kang-hu tilted their heads to see the whereabouts of Kang-hu, who had disappeared as they opened the door.

“what is this?”

“Where did this bastard go?”

“I guess it’s hiding? “Sense it!”

Two of the five hunters hurriedly put on their goggles. It may be an item for stealth detection.

Kang Hu also wanted to applaud the thorough preparation.

But that only happens when you ignore the situation.

At that point, Ganghu was already aiming for the lives of the two hunters wearing goggles.

【Veil of Finesse】

【Skill Proficiency: Lv Max】

【Creates a transparent curtain within a radius of 11m.】 【

Within it, the user gains absolute stealth status and cannot be detected by any detection ability.】 【

However, if you step out of the curtain, you immediately become hidden. As the effect wears off, the veil disappears and you gain 2 times the movement speed of 2 seconds.】

The Curtain of Finesse obtained from Deleila was a skill that had perfect synergy with Ganghu.

Aren’t there many times when you have to hide yourself to target your enemies or look for opportunities to escape from them?

The Veil of Finesse was a skill specialized for resolving difficult parts.

The drawback is that it consumes a lot of mana momentarily, but mana hypersensitivity can be easily resolved.

The mistake the two hunters made when trying to put on their goggles was that they were too close to Ganghu.

The two who were within the range of the Curtain of Technique did not even expect Ganghu’s approach.

Even with the goggles on, I couldn’t see Kang-hu, and I didn’t even notice him because he hid his presence with a shadow.

The result was simple.

Phew! Pooh wow!

“Ugh!”

“Kukkkeok!”

It was death.

Ganghu easily took the lives of two hunters, to the point where the word light is perfect.

Since he was a hunter who did not have a Constellation contract in the first place, he was naturally certain of victory from the beginning.

It was a question of whether I could kill him quickly, but since he was no different from a blind man, I immediately cut off his head.

“What the fuck! What?”

The remaining three were greatly embarrassed.

The fear was maximized as Ganghu was unilaterally violated in a situation where his location could not be determined.

in between.

This time, Kanghu took an additional aim at the life of the hunter who rushed forward with all his might.

I thought there would be at least one battle, but the result was an instant death in one blow.

Of course, to avoid making a fuss about the situation, I used the decapitation skill from the beginning…

but even so, these guys were too weak.

They must have tried to block the back and forth in a plausible way and suppress it with numbers and atmosphere.

However, Ganghu was not a person who would be intimidated by such loose surroundings and threats. This experience is all too common.

“Let’s run away! Let’s run away!”

“What about these guys?”

“You lost! “Just throw it away, you bastard!”

The remaining two who survived were quicker.

As if he wanted to pay with his life, he threw a few items he was holding and ran away to level 36.

It seemed like he was trying to buy time to run away while Kanghu took care of the items.

“What are they doing?…”

Ganghu looked pitiful as he looked at the backs of the two hunters running away.

I didn’t feel it was worth pursuing, so I left it alone.

It seemed like he had already taken care of the useful items and left them in front of him, so he didn’t feel the need to pursue them any further.

“Should I just park here?”

Collecting small items from dead hunters.

Kang-hu, who was thinking about getting back in the car, parked the car in a corner, turned off the engine, and locked the doors.

This is because the Liberation Zone is not far away and it is impossible to drive a car inside it anyway.

The total appraised value of the recovered items is approximately 300 million won.

It was an embarrassing amount to be considered an appraiser for the items obtained from three hunters.

It is true that the liberated area and its surroundings are a lawless zone, but not all members are suitable for a lawless zone.

Like these guys, there are a lot of incompetent guys who can lose their life with a single blow.

However, in a space without the constraints of the law, they only clumsily display their madness and commit crazy acts.

In any case, the logic of power is the only place that works. Kanghu was more comfortable in a place like this.

If you need to demonstrate your skills, you can do it without any hesitation. Then the situation will sort itself out.

* * *

“Damn it.”

Entering the entrance to the liberation zone, Ganghu held his nose.

This is because there was a strong smell of burning various medicinal herbs.

Just in case, I immediately put on the mask I brought with me.

If I honestly smelled this smell, I was going to pass out drunk while walking.

There were so many different types of grass being burned that it was impossible to tell what type of medicinal herb was being burned.

If I stay here and smell this smell forever.

It will probably feel like you are walking on water 24 hours a day and the world is melting into pastel colors.

Furthermore, your excitement will increase as your peripheral nerves are stimulated every time you breathe.

In short, it was the perfect place to make idiots of people.

“Uh-huh.”

“Hehe…”

The hunters, already in a state of hallucinations, were staggering and walking down the street.

Judging by the fact that he was not carrying a proper weapon or wearing anything, it appears that he was robbed early.

Since there is nothing to make money from, it seems like they can survive. Because it’s not worth killing.

After going a few more blocks, the street was quieter than I expected.

There is no way the hunters in the liberated area would have gone somewhere else, and in this case, it is most likely when there is an event.

just as expected.

The smell of blood flying in from time to time along with a rumbling sound from the front stung my nose.

“Is it a death match?”

A special stadium is visible.

A fight of the type seen at Club Hades was also taking place within the Liberation Zone of Gimcheon.

Fighting and fighting until one of the two hunters encountered in the arena dies.

That’s a death match.

Depending on each skill, the dividend value is determined and the stake is placed.

And part of the stake is distributed between the two fighting hunters.

Of course, the winning hunter gets to take his entire share of the stakes on both sides.

All items worn by the opponent can be taken away as your own. It’s like a trophy.

Ganghu was not interested in the game.

Anyway, hunters of all ages compete against each other and end up meaninglessly dying.

Rather than having much to learn in battle, it is more about discovering all kinds of problems and being disappointed.

So, I didn’t really want to go through a sight-seeing tour that would make my eyes hurt.

Instead, we headed to the market set up on one side of the special stadium.

This is because there, they sell items obtained as loot by killing opposing hunters.

If there is one strange sight.

Are they putting the corpse of a dead hunter behind the item they are selling as if to show off?

It is a form of clearly revealing whose ‘memento’ it is. To put it in a good way, it is like that, but to put it in a bad way, it is an insult to the deceased.

I wondered who came up with the name Liberation Zone.

What on earth is liberation? Does this mean that we are liberated from this world and go to the afterlife?

Of course… it’s a self-diss. A secret that cannot be told to others.

Anyway, Kanghu put aside his unpleasant feelings for a moment and went back to his original purpose: examining items.

I walked along the stalls and looked around, but everything that looked reasonably good was sold out.

There were only counterfeit products waiting for payment or placed on display after being sold.

‘It’s a bad day today.’

I looked at more items than I expected, but there was nothing useful.

Since the sales list is initially made up of items from dead hunters, the contents are bound to be different every day.

Some days, I wonder if something like this will come out. There are also other days when I wonder if there are any items.

Unfortunately, today it was the latter.

But right then.

“hmm?”

There was a skill book in sight. It was a skill book that had already been touched by many hunters.

It is really difficult to find it on the market, to the point where people say they can’t sell it because they don’t have a skill book.

However, even though it is on the stand for display, people do not buy it.

This means that there is absolutely no merit to it.

There was a very high possibility that it was a skill book that did not even feel worth learning, or that it belonged to a rare occupation.

But for Kang-hu, the meaning was different.

This is because there is no problem in learning any skill that applies to any occupation.

Just like I learned the decapitation skill by trick using Baltman.
